Jefferson Davis,

The name Of Mr.. Davis is very foollshly
kept before the people of this country as an
irritating quantity. This is done by the
southern Democratic papers, and when uu
favorable comment is made by northern
or Republican paper or speaker, these same
southern Democratic newspapers denounce
this comment as "shaking the bloody shirt"
There is no reason why any southern
man, particularly any eX-confederate, should
eulogize Mr.. Jefferson Davis. A study OF
the man and Of what he did for the south
ought to convince any one of that fact
AS to whether he was "a rebel" or "a
traitor" let the facts and the meaning of
those words determine that.
Mr.. Davis was born In the United States.
He was educated at the expense Of the
government in one Of its own schools aud
became an officer of the United States
army, Of course taking the oath prescribed
for officers. After some years. service
resigned from the army and entered civi
life.
After few years of civil life he once
more entered the military service of the
United States as colonel of regiment dur
ing the Mexican war, and again became a
sworn servant of the government.
The distinction acquired in the fedora
service made Mr.. Davis representative In
Congress, senator from the state of Mis-
sissippi, and gave him one of the highest
civil positions in the service of the United
States, that Of Secretary of War. In all
these places he necessarily became sworn
servant OF the United States.
Mr.. Davis had been soldier and seen the
horrors OF actual war. He was man OF
intelligence, and knew that the sentiment
of the world was against slavery. He was
scholar, aud knew the disparity between
the numerical strength and resources Of
the north and the south. He was a
politician, and knew or ought to have
known, the feeling OF the people OF the
north as to secession. He was highly re-
spected in the south, and his voice against
secession would possibly have prevented 1t
in several states.
1t may be said she opposed secession"
but his opposition was OF that kind which
Byron attributes to one OF the characters
in "Don juan" who "ne'er consenting,
still consents" 1t was the voice OF Jacob,
but the hand Of Esau, and the people south
and north know it. Mr.. Davis did not OPP
pose separation.
Rebellion is defined to be "warlike resist
ance against lawful authority" and one
who is guilty of rebellion is "rebel."
Treason is "a breach of allegiance" The
constitution OF the United States recognizes
both these crimes
Both as soldier and citizen Mr.. Davis
had taken an oath to observe and obey the
laws Of the United States, and In that oath
there was no clause releasing him because
of any position the state of Mississippi
might take.
These are plain historical facts, and
neither rhetorical flights OF praise for him
nor abuse Of those who recite the facts will
prevent people from drawing and stating
the unavoidable differences.
No man could have done more TO prevent
secession than could Mr.. Davis had he
chosen to exert himself. He did not, aud
in so far is responsible for much Of the woe

Is That What It Means E?

An old member of the New York ex-
change, talking about the prospect of

There is really only one way to put the

is TO buy bonds after the 3per cents. are called

We have made the wants of Washing
tonians the study of our lives, and we
should be lacking in the most ordinary
intelligence did we not by this time
know that fifteen dollars is about the
average price the majority OF men arc
willing to pay for n Spring and Summer
Suit. We have strained our vast re-
sources this season to provide for our
people suits at this price that will not
only prove satisfactory to our patrons,
but creditable to our House. NEVER
IN THE HISTORY OF OUR BUSINESS
CAREER have we shown in any one
season one-haif as many styles of Gem
tlemen's Suits at fifteen dollars each as
are TO be found on our counters to-day,
Never before have we been able to
place before the people of Washington
SUCH STERLING VALUES for a given
amount as characterize these fifteen
dollar suits of ours. We have them
both in Sack and Cutaway Frock styles.
The PERFECT FITTING QUALITIES
of these suits elicit the wonder and
admiration of all who see and try
them on. The fabrics from which they
are made are varied and handsome In
design, including Cassimeres, Tweeds,
Homespuns, Cheviots, Sorges, worsteds.
and Chevioteens. The colors range
from the plain black and blue to the
most delicate shades of light, and In
cludes all that's fashionable in plaids,
stripes, pinchecks, mixtures, and COM
binations of colors, producing various
effects. We not only GUARANTEE
THE COLOR of each and every one of
these fifteen dollar suits, but we alb
soIutely guarantee, and SHALL HOLD
OURSELVES RESPONSIBLE for the
wear and service of every one we SELL
and n guarantee from us means ALL
THAT THE TERN IMPLIES. This
may sound like strong language to use
concerning a suit costing only fifteen
\ dollars, but we know what we are
| talking about. We know that no such
values were ever offered here or else
| where for the price we name. We
know there isn't one of these fifteen
dollar suits of ours can be duplicated
in this town for less than from eighteen
to twenty dollars. We shall be glad to
show these suits to you whenever it
suits your convenience to favor us with
call. A visit to our house places you
under no obligation to buy n cents
worth. Courtesy and attention will
greet you in every department..

The National Society of California Plonsers
was organized on Saturday last. Nearly 100 OF

After their arrival they organized into per-

John G. Fremont was elected president, Hon.
George @. Gorham, vice president, aud Mr..
Hallet Kilbourn, secretary and treasurer.
Letters Of regret were read from Gen. John O.
Fremont. Gen. W. 7. Sherman, Justice Field,
Gen. L. f. Beall, and several others.
Adjournment was then made to the dining
tables, where ''planked" shad was set up in
style. Mr.. Gorham was master of ceremonies
The first toast was "The olden. the golden day.
Of '49;" and was followed by 1.-The President"

Monumental City," MULES and bacon" and

were consumed in large quantities. Story and
song kept everybody in good humor and con-
tinuous laughter. The return was made with
out an accident of any kind, and an enjoyable

A Watch Presentation.

At the meeting of the Grand Lodge,
A. O. U. w., yesterday afternoon, a
vote Of thanks to Past Grand Master
J. c. Harlow and retiring officers was
adopted, also to Percival J. Barratt,
for his able discharge Of the duties of
Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole-copies of which we're ordered
to be engrosscd and presented to the
two above gentlemen, which no doubt
will be highly appreciated by them.
Later and at the close of the session
DR.. Owings, on behalf of the members
of said Grand Lodge, in a very neat
and appropriate speech, presented
Brother Past Grand Master Harlow
with a magnificent gold watch.
Brother Harlow, although entirely
taken by surprise, returned his thanks
in language which fully showed how
greatly he was affected by this token
of the regard and affection of the
brethren. We sincerely hope that he
will live long to enjoy the confidence
of the Order.
